Sounds of scratching, gnawing or rustling in your home at night could be signs it could be time to call Seattle pest control.

, Old World rats breed year-round but mainly reproduce in the warmer months and right now, Washington is in peak summer., rats typically measure 6 to 9 inches in length, while mice are smaller, around 2 to 4 inches. Rats also have thicker bodies, blunt noses and scaly tails. Mice have more delicate features like pointed noses and longer tails. Another difference is that rats are cautious and tend to avoid new objects, while mice are curious and explore their surroundings more freely.

Like ants, spiders are also generally a personal preference issue. Fleas often get into homes through pets, so treating pets and vacuuming are ways to combat these insects. Another solution safer than poison, offered by Parker Eco Pest Control, is rat birth control. This new rodent control approach makes rats infertile and helps combat the problem long term. It’s a nontoxic formula that has been available to the public for over five years, according to Parker.The formula can be set out where rats feed or are active. When the rats eat it, they can no longer reproduce, saving areas from further rat issues.
